battery. When the battery is fully charged, it will stop charging automatically to

avoid damage to the li-ion polymer battery.

Cleaning, Hygiene & Care

How to keep your pump clean

Follow the instructions for cleaning, caring and storing for your Crane breast

pump and parts. Failure to do so may pose a health risk and void the warranty.

Your Crane pump kit is designed for single use only, it is not intended for multiple

users. Every mother should have their own pump kit. Use multiple users risks

the spread of transmissible diseases.

Make sure to wash your hands with soap and warm water prior to touching the

breast pump and the breast pump parts. Avoid touching the inner parts of the

milk collection kit parts which come in to contact with breast milk. The motor

unit must never be exposed or immersed into water or other liquids for cleaning.

The motor unit must not be Sterilized in a microwave sterilizer.

Bottle Kit:

Bottles should be sterilized after every use with babies under 3 months of age.

Wash and sanitize the Bottle Kit before your first use. Sterilize daily and wash

after each use.

Milk Collection Kit:

Wash and sanitize the Milk Collection Kit before your first use. Sanitize daily and

wash after each use. The breast pump milk collection kit has a closed system

therefore cleaning the tubes is not necessary. If you happen to see moisture in

the tubes alter pumping, remove the tubes from the breast shields. Turn on the

motor for a few minutes until the moisture is gone.

Pump unit:

Wipe pump unit with clean damp cloth. Sterilize the unit using a disinfectant

wipe and wipe off the outside of the tubing and the tubing jack (where tubing

attaches to the pump unit). NEVER submerge the pump unit in water or use in a

sterilizer.

First time using your breast pump

Carefully read this instruction manual before using your Crane Double Electric

Breast Pump. Failure to follow these instructions and safety guidelines can lead

to harm or injury from the device and may also damage the pump and kit.

• Wash your hands with soap and warm water.

• Disassemble all parts that come into contact with the breast/breast milk:

Breast shield body, silicone cushions & diaphragms & bottles & bottle parts

NOTE: silicone cushion comes assembled onto the breast shield.

• Sterilize these parts using by boiling for 3-5 minutes or with another

sterilization technique. See ‘STERILZING YOUR PUMP PARTS’ for more

information.

• Leave to dry or dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

STERILIZING YOUR PUMP PARTS

BEFORE FIRST USE AND ONCE DAILY

1. Place disassembled breast shield, silicone cushions, diaphragm,

bottle and bottle parts that are safe to boil into a pot and cover

with water. DO NOT BOIL TUBES AND CONNECTORS.

2. Put the pot over the heat and bring to a boil.

3. Boil for 3-5 minutes.

4. Allow water to cool and gently remove items with clean tongs

5. Do not boil tubes or connectors

6. Allow to air-dry thoroughly. Place sanitized pump parts and

bottle brush on a clean, unused dish towel or paper towel in an

area protected from dirt and dust. Do not use a dish towel to

rub or pat items dry because doing so may transfer germs to the

items.

7. Store dry parts in a cool, clean place when not in use. DO NOT

store wet or damp parts.

Before Each Use

Wash your hands well with soap and water and dry thoroughly before touching

any part of your pump.

• Make sure that all parts are totally dry prior to use. Wet or damp parts will

cause poor suction.

• Once all parts are totally dry, re-assemble the milk collection kit.

• Make sure that you check for wear and tear on tubes, plastic and silicone parts.

• Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately as this will affect suction.

CLEANING THE TUBES

The Crane Double Electric Breast Pump is a closed system, therefore cleaning the

tubes is not necessary. If you see moisture in the tubes after pumping, remove

the tubes from the breast shields. Turn the unit on for a few minutes until the

moisture is gone.

After each pumping session

• Rinse each part that has come into contact with the breast and/or breast milk

immediately after pumping. Parts that come into contact with the breast and

breast milk are; bottles, breast shield body, silicone 3D Cushions, diaphragm. This

avoids buildup of milk residue in the collection kit bottles/parts and growth of

any bacteria.

• Wash all parts above in warm soapy water using any fragrance-free mild liquid

dishwashing detergent. This degreases the parts of the milk collection kit. Grease

residue affects suction and passage of milk into the collection bottles.

• Use a separate cleaning sponge and bottle brush with a smaller brush to reach

the tiny nooks of the collection kit parts.

• Rinse each piece thoroughly with warm water for 10 to 15 seconds.

• You may sanitize the parts through a sterilization method of your choice after

each use.

• Parts may become damaged or deform if exposed to high temperatures for any

more than 5 minutes.

• Make sure that you check on wear and tear on tubes and all plastic or silicone

parts.

• Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately as this will affect suction.

• Allow to air-dry thoroughly. Place sanitized pump parts and bottle brush on a

clean, unused dish towel or paper towel in an area protected from dirt and dust.

Do not use a dish towel to rub or pat items dry because doing so may transfer

germs to the items.

• Make sure that all parts are totally dry prior to use. Wet or damp parts will

cause poor suction. Once all parts are totally dry, re-assemble the milk collection

kit.

You will need to re-assemble your milk collection kit after each cleaning.

Before assembling, the parts which directly come in to contact with breast

milk must be cleaned and sterilized before each use. These parts include;

the milk bottle, Silicone 3D Cushions, breast shield body,

diaphragm and bottle lid.

Preparing to pump

So, your pump is clean, sterilized, assembled and you’ve familiarized yourself

with the controls. Now it’s time to start pumping.

Be prepared - Make sure you have everything you need for the 30 minutes or so.

Have a glass of water and a snack in arms reach a cloth for any spills. Do you

have your phone charged, or something else to read, watch or listen to.

You can do this! Take a breath and relax. Whether this is your first time using

your pump or you’ve done it many times…just take a moment to relax, think

about your baby and know you’ve got this.

See & hear your baby - Many moms find that pumping is more successful if they

have the right sensory cues. Watching a video or seeing a picture of your baby

may be enough to help your milk let down. Listening to a recording of your baby

or having an item of clothing that has their smell may also help to get your milk

flowing.

The power of routine - Your body will also respond to the familiarities of how

and where you pump, so expressing at the same times of day helps your body

know what is expected.

Get comfortable – Pumping where you normally feed your baby can be a good

cue for your body. Try to choose a chair or position that takes care of your neck

and back. Supporting your breast with a cushion may help too, particularly if you

are expressing from both breasts at once and need a hand free.

Using Your Crane Pump

Position the breast shield - Massage around your breast, then position your

nipple in the center of the silicone 3D cushion.

Pumping Mode - Switch on your pump, starting with the stimulation mode icon

to encourage letdown. Once your milk begins to flow (usually after a couple of

minutes), switch to an expression mode icon

Finding the right settings for you:

• When using your pump for the first few times, experiment with the different

expression setting (-/+) to find the one that works well for you.

• If your milk flow begins to drop, you may find it helpful to gently massaging

your breast.

• Adjust the suction level gradually to one that is effective but still comfortable.

Don’t choose a level that’s too high and uncomfortable.

• You may find it helpful to switch between the Expression icon and stimulation

icon Phases while you are pumping.

How long to pump - Use your pump to express your milk until the breast is

empty, which is usually between 15-30 minutes.

Finishing your pumping session - When you are ready to stop expressing,

switch your Crane pump off. Ensure the pump motor is OFF before removing

the milk collection kit from your breasts.

Time to clean - Please see the instructions for rinsing and washing or sterilizing

your pump parts that have come in contact with your breast or breast milk.

Wipe your pump unit.

Double Pumping

As you learn to use your Crane Pump, you may find it easier to pump one side at

a time to begin with. Once you are confident with positioning the breast shield

and have an understanding of the controls, you can be more confident using

both sides at once. Pumping both sides at once can help increase your milk

supply as well as reduce the time needed to pump.

A cushion under one breast can help you still have one hand free to have a drink

or hold something to read. Hands free expressing bras can free up your hands if

you want to move about while you are pumping from both breasts.

Milk Storage

Storing & Using Breast Milk

Please check the latest advice on storing and using thawed breast milk with your

physician or lactation consultant.

Always keep your stored breast milk in a sterilized bottle or sterile milk storage

bag, adding the date if you are planning to freeze it. Breast milk can be kept at

room temperature for 4 hours.

You can store your breast milk in the fridge for up to 48 hours at 2-4 degrees C.

Choose the coldest part of the fridge, such as above the vegetable drawer, not in

the door. Your breast milk can be stored for up to 3-6 months in a freezer. Fill

your storage bag or bottle no more than ¾ full, as the frozen milk will expand.

Allow your frozen breast milk to defrost itself in the fridge. When it is thawed,

use it straight away.

Your baby might like warm milk. Stand the bottle in a container of hot water and

let it heat to body temperature before feeding. Microwaving bottles is not

recommended because the uneven heating can burn your baby’s mouth, and the

heat can damage the food value and health protecting qualities of breast milk.

Once warmed, and before feeding, always swirl the container of the milk to mix

well and test the temperature by shaking a few drops of milk on the inside of

your wrist. The milk should feel just warm on your skin.

Troubleshooting

Weak Suction or No Suction

All the instructions below must be followed. Failure to follow any of these

instructions will lead to weak suction or no suction vacuum at all.

• All parts must be totally dry and not damp.

• Frequent use or improper sterilization method can cause aging on Silicone 3D

Cushions. If the Silicone 3D Cushions have aged and are worn out, replace

immediately.

• Make sure that the Silicone 3D Cushions on each collection kit fit tightly onto

the breast shield body. The Silicone 3D Cushions have edges that should fit

perfectly across the cushion edges.

• If the Silicone 3D Cushions are not snugly attached this will result in poor

suction.

• Make sure that the silicone diaphragm is properly attached to the breast shield

body.

• Check that all connections are tight so as not to cause any air to leak. Check

that tubing is not wet, damp, bent or twisted.

• Tubing must be straightened and uncoiled to ensure proper air flow.

• If you notice any milk residue, clean the tubing and air dry. (Follow proper

cleaning the tubes instructions described in this manual)

• If you notice any water condensation or milk inside the tubing, clean and air

dry.

• Tubing must always be dry and checked prior to each use. Wet or damp tubing

will cause poor suction.

• Worn out tubing with holes will cause a reduction in suction. Replace

immediately when worn out.

• Check to make sure that the breast shield is well secured and tightly fastened

to the tubing connector.

• Check that tubing connector ends are tight and well connected to the tubing,

the breast motor unit and the breast shield.
